Are you?
99% of the server running around as a death knight?
Do you get a free month of game time with wotlk?
I have over 5 weeks holidays left until the end of the year... should I? :-\
-
dont go to the dark side lol
i had a look at my cousins there was something like 400 dk's in hellfire and i made a comment about them being way overpowered and would be nerfed then i realised they were a hero class.
the thing is they get a cool armour set within 2 lvl's then they go to hellfire and have to start wearing the generic looking armour thats been there for over a year.
i think they should have added dk specific looking gear to the loot tables else there just going to look like every other warrior.
-
Yeah I resubbed and ran the Keep instance, I don't know if they're running out of ideas but it was dungeon-by-numbers and not a patch on the BC ones. I hope the others are better otherwise there's no way I'll be able to get to 80.
-
Don't be too positive. :D
-
Not me. I did pre-oreder Mines of Moria, and intend to pwn the world with my Warden. The Warden class looks exactly like the WH should have been in WAR (change pistol for javelin, and you have a WH!). Need to apply to LOTRO HoJ team (it seems that it is way more active (and I readlly do mean it) compared to my Kinship on another server :( ).
Incidenly, scratch from HoJ WAAR team Dehn, Darn and Peter. They got sucked to WotLK :( (altough I have some minor hope that Peter will see the light and leave the darkside (at-least once AM class starts to live up to its dual-nature expectations)).
-
Don't mention it! I went cold turkey and fearing for my first weak moment(s)...
-
In a few hours, when I've finished downloading the 651Mb patch, yes.
I like Warhammer and originally planned to play it for the rest of the year to give it a proper go, but even after upgrading my RAM my PC just can't handle the tier 2 scenarios. I think I really found my niche as an archmage too, but I can hardly heal people if I'm watching the screen refresh once per second during combat.
If it runs a bit smoother in six months I might try it again.

Did you install 'buffthrottle' ?

Yep.

Yeah, my druid is fresh lvl 71.

In no way do I have a level 71 Orc Shaman. Or a 59 Orc Death Knight. Honest...

As announced in some other thread I planned to check out the DKs and so I am.
At the moment my Troll DK is lvl 62 and questing in Zang. On the whole I think Blizz made a very nice class. It is quite overpowered if you ask me, so I wouldn't be surprised if they nerf it at some time in the future. Nevertheless it makes leveling easier which may have been intended. Yes, some quest areas can be annoyingly crowded at peak hours.
Still since many race level their mains to 80 it isn't too bad. What I don't like playing WoW again is all the annoying kids with their /spit /laugh, lol noob behaviour. I haven't had anything like this in WAR. I haven't been in Northrend much, the new continent, but it looked pretty nice the few hours I spent there.
In conclusion, I will spend less time playing WAR but have no intentions of ending my subscription.
-
Yep - rolled a Gnome DK now at 63. They are OP and all over Outland at the moment, but I'm moving past zones and doing mostly orange quests and mobs +2 levels above makes the leveling easier and qucker. Its worth rolling a DK just to do opening sequence of quests which are good fun. I made my gnome look like my existing mage-ette so my backstory is she turned bad.
Bought a 60 day time card and my plan is to get to the new content (lvl 68) as soon as possible and see what Blizz have done in Wintergrasp (their rip-off of RvR lakes - siege engines etc.). My old guild scattered when the officers gave up on organising nightly raids (don't blame em really) but we keep in touch so I may do a few dungeons. But, I have NO plans to return to that whole end game thing.
Overall impression? its like going for a walk in an old comfy pair of well worn-in boots around your old hometown. Why wouldn't you want to do that?

beacuse you where somewhat of a burnt out junkie the last time you managed to escape your home town and now on your return beautiful elven women are throwing cheap bags of heroin at your comfy feet?

it's like warhammer all over again as soon as you come into contact with the enemy the lag hits you getting 5 fps most of the time lol .

Sounds "great" :)
Which side has it as easy mode? ;)
-
Sounds like PVP at its most awesome :)
-
theres a way of winning quickly.
control the hanger transport to airship then when over the enemy base jump and paracute into there keep.
then collect seaforium charges and keep bombing the gates till they come down then kill boss.
-
Oh its a AV style, pvp with built in npcs? And as per AV the playerbase has found ways to get it over fast.
Thats the drawback of any scenario/bg style I think - the Devs never really counter for the ingenuity of the playerbase when it wants shit out of the way fast.
-
I'm afraid that I am now unable to play WoW anymore because I can't use my shineh new Xbox 360 controller for Windows :P
-
Theres people here still playing I suppose so they may be interested in the cataclysm stuff:
http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/cataclysm/features/
What grabbed my eye though:
(http://www.fohguild.org/forums/attachments/mmorpg-general-discussion/119206d1250887099-wow-4-0-cataclysm-phpd15howwowraid_shot064.jpg)
2 of the best low level instances got heroic modes. 3 years too late.

Comming soon:
Tauren pallies, gnome priests and belf warriors.
Old areas remade
And ofc new horde and alliance races(and not the ones i had hoped nor tought it might be)
-
Which ones did you hope for?
Which ones did you think it would be?
-
Dunno really. Pandaren, High elves? Something not goblin wich is supposed to be kinda neutral or worgens wich seems to be kinda... evil?

Haha try slipping pandaren past China :) Hell Blizz had to rework the unded especially for that market...
-
I refuse to get hyped up about this.
It does sound very cool, but it'll just suck me back in, burn up all my time, stress out my wife then leave me feeling burnt out and used.
No thanks.
-
Heh! This must have been the worst kept secret on the internet over the last 2 weeks! (That and the announcement of the PS3 Slim!)
It does all look very cool, fancy creating a Goblin Druid! Not sure if the mix of Class/Race combinations is a good idea though.
I suspect this will be put out at a similar time to SWTOR (Holiday season 2010)

Rumor suggests prior to Blizzcon 2010.

Continuing my stroll down memory lane. I left WAR behind me when my 60 day card ran out, Karak Azgal was being completely overrun in all tiers by the with the destro blob. So, I went out and got a 60 day card for.... yes WOW!! Its a funny thing but having two lifetime subs to LOTRO and CO means I don't play them as often. The new brand of crack on the street corners of wow is "achievements" - yes I do need that extra fishing pool and yes I am will to spend the day hunting it down for 10 achievement points. Oddly enough the arsehat quotient seems to have gone down as well - apart from one who spent their time trying to get my mage to turn on PvP with accidental AoE (really why? go play a real PvP game if thats what you want). So there we are - my names Jeremiah and I'm a wow-aholic. I feel better already.
-
I get the sudden urge to resub to WoW every now and then, spend the £8.99 required, then rapidly remember why I quit.
I suppose I'm just fed up to the gills with WoW.
-
No wonder I've been the only one in HoJ WAR lately... Incidently, my gaming time runs out tonight, and I don't intend to buy more now.
Yesterday when I came to work, I stopped by at the supermarket nearby to buy something for lunch. Noticed there was sales bin in the game-corner. That "50% to -90% off!!!" sign grabbed my attention, so I went and checked what they have there.
Mostly garbage. Well, all of it was garbage actually. But they had Age of Conan 60 day play-time cards with 90% off. So I sort of bought one, cost me about 3 euros.
I haven't done anything with the time-card, still a bit bewildered I bought it, tbh... But it was so cheap :-[

I made a few changes to my in-game situation and am now much happier with things.

achievments get old fast i have finished with WOW for good now tried to get interest horde side got a char to lvl 50 then got bored again.

Achievements are also such a "can't be away for a few months and you miss everything" :(

Its something I may consider Taith, now that they've implemented faction changes in the EU.
-
Well, if that strange aeon comes to pass and the stars come right and death dies and your characters rise from their tombs in that dark city beneath Azeroth's most southern oceans, drop me a line and I'll let you know where I can actually be found these days.
Achievements are there if you want to do them. If you actually like fishing, for example, it's nice to get little dings along the way. In instances it provides additional challenges by specifying a particular strategy you have to use on some boss fight. It allows for modes of character progression beyond simply getting the next tier of gear, which suits me well.
Like anything in WoW I take them in moderation. If I spent a day trying to get all the exploration achievements I'd get bored and then go nuts. The two people I know who have the Loremaster achievement, for doing a huge number of quests on all continents, like having it but vow never to do it on any of their alts.
I find the game still rewards a fairly casual attitude towards progressing through it and I avoid people who burn themselves up in the name of progression. I've discovered I can even spend an hour and a half trying to get through a three-phase boss fight no one in the raid has done before if the attitude of the people involved leans towards just having fun doing it.
What faction changes would you consider?
(I'm quite surprised to find a WoW thread on this forum. ::))
-
My names elv..er Ross.
and I'm a wowaholic..I must be at least 3 or 4 months clean these days though!
tbh I only ever thought wow was the best for the social side and that has become a case of ever decreasing returns with most of the people who played together being now spread across various games and forums...
might pick up expansions and play for a little but even that seems unlikely at the moment
Also I had a lot of time on my hands at various points when I was a wow player not really in the same situation anymore, so not got the time.
laters elv
where've you gone these days then taith packed your bag from aszune for good?
-
We have a couple of wow threads, I aint too bitter about the game. I had my time in the game, enjoyed it massively until I just didnt anymore - hell I somehow got a fair few of you folks to stick around in the game for a while with me having some good times and for me that was the best thing, the e-relationships we formed from all those nights of 5mans and raids and so on...
To be honest, if they removed achievements, made raids more open world (therefore having an aspect of pvp involved), added a proper death penalty/loot on players, added public dungeons, got rid of the room-tunnel-boss format they like for instances and gave back the higher needed exp (or the ability to STOP xp gain) for all levels (basically making the journey important as it once was), I'd look at it again as a 3rd or 4th mmo.
Polish wise its the best, storywise it sucks (lol spacegoats and whatever metzen pulls out of a hookers ass this patch etc etc etc) - lotro has it beat here. Pvp wise - meh Esports are dead in the west, someone tell blizz - eve beats it hand down... But for an experience and for my first full on MMO where I actually got involved with people, it will and always will hold a place in my gaming memories.
-
I gotta agree with Taith's comments that the achievements can add a different dynamic to a 5 man run, especially when its something to work toward. Same with some of the mount collection achievements. It must be my inner Pokemon fan, but I quite enjoyed getting all the mounts needed for my Albino Drake. I like to set myself goals that are solo-able. Plus, I like tangible rewards for such things.
You never know, one day the perusers of this forum could reroll and start again on a brand new server somewhere. Reckon it'd be fun.
And Taith, was thinking 69 Alliance Gnome Mage to a Belf somewhere. Or even Orc Shammy to Draenei, as I've always wanted a high level blue dude.
-
where've you gone these days then taith packed your bag from aszune for good?
Had a slight Alliance revival now that Nim's been booted out of Synch, though for some reason she's still allowed to post on parts of the forums and I twitch when I see a post from her. I still mostly play Horde, but I've transferred a couple of toons over to The Sha'tar and have done a little endgame with a guild Fian found there. Pretty good people, though it's a Euro guild so the raid times are a bit early.

So aside from one or two small things...

im not bitter about WOW its a GAME i left due tom e hating the game and the twats that told me wasnt "in the ganG" so couldnt do end game
cant say i remember who they are, lifes too short hope you werent one of em Elv (only saying that as i honestly cant remember or care less but youll know what i mean ;) )
BOO YAHH

just as well i dont get drunk often, next time ill hide my keyboard before i go out.
-
The achievements are definitely not my thing and when most other people was so hyped up about them I realized the time to quit had come.
I will most likely go back and check it out at some point but with no new classes in the next expansion not even that interests me.
BTW, Mangala, have you been playing with the forum :) Writing posts with light gray font on white background is not exactly easy!
-
No forum editing at all for a while actually. Forum default is black on white iirc? (I use a white on black personally, with post box being black on white).
Especially not today though - been in the FW and PVP roundtables. Former had lots of tears about lag in FW zones; latter had tears about suicide ganking, hate on people suggesting no insurance, hate on 1man war decs etc etc. Shall detail more in the other thread this week :)

Bah, partly because of this thread I re-activated my WoW account. And then my computer died... Just got the PC back though, now with a brand new PSU and gfx card (nothing fancy, a 9800GT 512MB, but still an upgrade for me), so I can supposedly check out tonight how the game is nowadays.

Had a lot of fun playing wow over the years but I think now I am just completely burnt out on it. I went back for a couple of months when Wrath of the Lich king came out and it was a definite improvement its just that somehow it just did not seem as much fun as it used to be. Still if the mood ever takes me I can always drag out my old Boomkin and let free the moonfire spam.

For a trip down nostalgia lane:

-
I am not spending near as much time in wow these days as i used to, but it is still fun to log in and tank a couple of heroics or maybe even a raid for guildies. I also have a new goal of at least trying to level a horde character to see what the horde side is like before cataclysm comes and rearrange the old world. Might just end up faction changing one of my alts a couple of weeks before expansion hits as a last desperate attempt. :D
-
...(or the ability to STOP xp gain) for all levels (basically making the journey important as it once was)...
So aside from one or two small things...
Blizzard are stalking me?
C/D?
Found this out when discussing the good and bad of WoW with an old drinking buddy who has been playing it now for a few months over dinner lastnight. Apparently this feature is in - for BGs mainly, but it seemingly stops all xp gain from ANY activity that gains xp normally. I'd be happy if Turbine copied this for LOTRO!
-
I'm pretty sure that feature was in when I was still playing. Been around for a while at least.
Mostly for twinks I think.
-
I believe it costs 10g to active and deactivate xp.
-
So, I actually watched the Cataclysm trailer - sexy as per usual for Blizzard.
Then i read this on the FOH board:
MP5: This will be removed from items and replaced with Spirit. All healers will be given a meditation-like ability.
Spell Power: Spell Power is being removed from items as well. Don't panic, we'll be improving Intellect so that it provides mana and Spell Power.
Attack Power: We're removing Attack Power from items as well. Instead, we're allowing Agility to provide the necessary Attack Power for leather and mail wearers. Strength will provide the appropriate amount of Attack Power for plate wearers. This means leather and mail items will no longer be desirable for plate wearers.
Defense: The Defense statistic is also being removed from items so that players no longer have to worry about juggling around "the cap." Tanks will receive the necessary anti-crit from talents, like Survival of the Fittest.
Armor Penetration: This ability is too confusing and "mathy." It is being replaced with Mastery, a stat that makes you better at what you do. More on that later!
Haste: Will also increase the rate at which you gain energy, runes, and focus. Retribution paladins and Enhancement shaman will have a talent that allows them to take advantage of this benefit.
Block: Block Value is being removed. Blocking will now always mitigate a percentage of damage.
Stamina: Players will notice more Stamina on gear as Defense, Spell Power, Attack Power and Armor Penetration are removed.
How much further can they make the game less cerebral (Which it was to an extent in vanilla and early tbc as far as getting the numbers on your gear "just so" for a given situation - balancing def cap, plus other stats was a fun exercise for a tank like me).
Howabout just putting people in a room with a freeloot button?
I have to admit, Im becoming fascinated* with how they are changing that game (it had a big impact on my MMO "life" after all), and it gets to me to wondering about what exactly they'll be doing with their new game in regards to all the changes theyve made over time to capture and keep the lowest common denominator.
*Aforementioned fascination isnt helped that the chap whose gaff im at today down south was playing it all night :(
-
you cant expect the players to use their brains when the devs leave theirs at the door.
they cant even invent new land masses for the xpacks anymore just rehash what is already there(although does sound slightly cool).
i tried deleting WOW from my system but seems there is a missing file and i cant its worse than norton for trying to get rid of(conspiracy).

WarCry Network : Five Years of Warcraft: Speaking With Blizzard's Rob Pardo (http://www.warcry.com/articles/view/interviews/6773-Five-Years-of-Warcraft-Speaking-With-Blizzards-Rob-Pardo)
Quote:
Q: What was the biggest mistake you think you made?
A: As for the biggest mistake? There's a lot of them that I think, were ... they just "fell out" of things. One example: I wish the servers were more stable when we launched, of course - there's a lot of that sort of thing. We have a lot of excuses for that - we didn't expect nearly the response - but we can't say it wasn't a mistake. If I was going to pick on a game design thing that I look back on and think was a mistake? We really never designed WoW to be a competitive e-sports game; it was something that we decided to start tackling because there was such a desire and demand to evolve it in that direction, to introduce competitive arenas. I'm not sure that that was the right thing to do with the game.
We didn't engineer the game and classes and balance around it, we just added it on, so it continues to be very difficult to balance. Is WoW a PvE cooperative game, or a competitive PvP game? There's constant pressure on the class balance team, there's pressure on the game itself, and a lot of times players who don't PvP don't understand why their classes are changing. I don't think we ever foresaw how much tuning and tweaking we'd have to do to balance it in that direction. Either I'd go back in time to before WoW ever shipped and change the rules to make the basic game more conductive for being an e-sport, or if not that, just say it doesn't make sense. Right now, WoW has a bit of a schizophrenic philosophy behind it, and we're trying to figure out how to guide it.
It's tricky, now that we've gone down that road, because we have a passionate, large audience that enjoys it - the Arena, the e-sport - so we can't just chop off that head. We can't just say, "We fouled up and will go back to how it used to be before," because we have a really passionate audience that wants it in the game.
If I could go back in time before we shipped WoW, I would have either made serious changes to basic class balance to facilitate that type of play, or if I went back to when we had the idea two years later, I would have said, "Maybe we shouldn't go there."
There's more stuff in the interview, but that's about the most interesting thing.
The whole "Oh, but a lot of people enjoy Arenas so we can't just remove them" thing is fucking hilarious, too. No, a small minority of people enjoyed Arenas when i played - most of the people there faceroll their way to victory in whatever Cleave-gimmick team is strongest this season purely for the rewards. Change the arena rewards to superficial trophy items, and I guarantee that at least three-quarters of Arena players would go back to running instances & raiding. Blizzard really needs to get out of "E-sports".

I can say from a position of authority that any popular on-line title will have this issue. It hard to determine what the response will be prior to launch. The best you can do is throw has much hardware at it as you can and be prepared with hot spares. Also, the initial influx of users does not translate to the actual number of long term players. Most titles eventually end up pulling out hardware as the flood of users dies down to a daily average.

You sound like a mythic employee ;)

As much as WoW will always have a special place in my heart, I don't think I could ever get back into it seriously again. As much as I like the idea of levelling, and as much as I like certain classes and mechanics, I cannot face the end game grind again. Everything I do in that game is overshadowed by the fact that I'll have to grind heroics, then Naxx, then Ulduar then whatever else they've added since I last played.
No thanks, have better things to do with my free time than be shouted at by, or shout at, other players.
-
You can skip naxx now, the gear from emblems of conquest from heroic 5-mans and trial of the champion normal + heroic can get you good enough to go raiding. New instances in icecrown citadel comming soon that probably got even better gear too. I could go on about how its bad how people can get good gear with just 5-mans and heroics, but it does help on gearing your raiders even as a casual guild that dont do 4+ raids a week and you wont have to rely on people running the "easy" raids to keep up if you havent played for a while.
Even if i am kinda bored by things i still keep going back to wow, theres just something about it they must have done right that others games is missing for me.
Also with the gear people got these days i stopped caring about moonkin druids in feral gear doing 300 dps while running heroics(most pugs are actually ok), and raids i do with the guild only anyways so they are usually fun even if we keep wiping(lemming raids are usually the highlight of the week for me those days i can do them).
If i try to have fun in wow i can usually find something to do, or just do some dailies while trying to figure out something. :)
-

i never shouted ;)

Wasn't refering to you ;)
But as for your comments Dlarah, I've still got to do those heroics, and farm those badges, and devote an inordinate amount of time to gearing up to be on the same level as my guildies. Frankly, I have better things to be doing with my time these days.
Casual is King. ;)

So is there a HoJ casual guild? I've got a Death Knight I'd quite like do some casual dungeons and stuff with - I'm thinking of following the Way of the PuG (PuGido) when 3.3 hits with the cross-realm random lfg system but a few of the HoJ team would be cool.
-
There isnt one - those of us here from the HoJ in wow days are mainly bitter vets or people who went on to guilds that came about as a result of HoJ.
Kurtt for example went hordeside mainly to a sister guild we had and eventually ended up running it, Elv, Taith, Thuggy, Keggi and others stayed alliance and went to a post-HoJ-drama guild that was setup; Dlarah was in an allied guild in wow, but is now in a guild that kinda stepped into shoes HoJ left empty on our server.
Out of therest who play - they play on other servers in other guilds with no wow ties to us here really.
-
was never the same after hoj in wow for me nobody could motivate/organise in the same way jon could.
the post hoj guild is still there on aszune but quite a few of the old hoj crowd either stopped playing or moved on.

Oddly enough, Jaidus/Kunae has returned to playing Ally side with Synch. Never thought I'd see her again ingame tbh.
I like to think I took the old HoJ spirit Horde side anyway, so you'd never be able to find it Ally side :P

HoJ was fun though. Remember nine-manning the Beast? ;)
-
Dont ruin my history, im still writing it ;)
Superiority complex? Moi? ;)
No seriously, it was much more than any one person - was an odd thing that even i find hard to pin down. Good fun with some good memories attached with some good people.

Agreed. If it wasn't for my previously mentioned endgame phobia, I'd so be up for an old HoJ reroll on a new server somewhere.

Sure, but I was the spirit of entire WoW - it's been no fun anymore, since I quit. ;D
-
WOW HoJ was always fun, i loved learning instances as a group and generally horsing around whilst doing it.
Its always a shame that my last memories of WoW were down to what had become of HoJ and the cliqueness (which HoJ never had) of the leadership in the new incarnation (bunch o tits).

After Drakan Templars sort of died i went and joined Lemmings of the Light and have been with them ever since. The lemmings are one of the main reasons i actually enjoy wow at times.
What is the name of your DK Jeremiah? I can add you to friends and keep you in mind when doing instances. :)

What was your name in WoW Dlarah?

My first lvl 60 and the char i first joined raids with was a paladin named Cocaman.
Later i also used a mage called Elminendra when a healer wasnt needed.

oh i thought you were just someone who joined us for war never thought i had joined you on raids in wow.
was bananaman in drakan i think he was in hoj before that he was the reason i never heard any strat talks in molten core he was always cracking jokes.
-
I got 3 80s in total, all on the Bloodhoof server (and all gnomes) Vanitae - lock, Misspops - mage, Bunnykin - Death Knight, . Though now we have name, server, race and faction change all of those are flexible. All are in the Evolution guild which didn't so much explode as run into the sand half way through Black Temple. There is also my oldest char (day one retail) - Voraytor, Tauren Druid 65 on the Horde side of Bloodhoof - guildless atm.
-
Bananaman was in dt after hoj but stopped playing just before the guild died. Last i know of him is he, Prisaius, Malakaiess and Malakai joined Drunken Dragons and i would have followed if i werent already in a guild i was happy with. Bananaman + wine = fun times on ts during raids. :)
And my chars are mostly on alliance side of the Aszune server.
-
I remember you Cocaman! I've always been Kurtt on Ally side WoW.

The whole "Oh, but a lot of people enjoy Arenas so we can't just remove them" thing is fucking hilarious, too. No, a small minority of people enjoyed Arenas when i played - most of the people there faceroll their way to victory in whatever Cleave-gimmick team is strongest this season purely for the rewards. Change the arena rewards to superficial trophy items, and I guarantee that at least three-quarters of Arena players would go back to running instances & raiding. Blizzard really needs to get out of "E-sports".
I had a very strange conversation in a pug once with our decidedly bug-f*ck insane tank in which he was asking me questions about the druid class and what I thought of it.
Now I've levelled two druids to the level cap, in Wrath and in TBC, despite telling myself I wouldn't do so. I've gone back to the druid class many a time. I'm fairly comfortable with the idea that it's my favourite.
I couldn't figure out what this paladin was trying to get at though. Did he want me to say it's an overpowered or underpowered class? Eventually I realised he was talking about PvP and I explained that I hardly ever did it, mostly as filler when I'd run out of things to do in an expansion, and even then only BGs.
I've learned that an awful lot of the screaming, wailing and general insanity and moments of pure Are-You-Even-A-Human-Being-Behind-That-Toon in WoW comes from PvPers. I don't trust them to go somewhere else if the cool arena awards are taken away. I think I'd just see more of them in PvE.
Arenas are a good place to keep the crazy PvPers.

A guide written by an apparent Guild Leader in WoW on how to run guilds... Its pretty lol - although kudos to him for giving it a go and putting the info out there. Luckily I think most competent guild leaders wont ever use a guide like this - its all intuituve and to a degree common sense.
Personally if I was just starting out in community group leadership stuff in an MMO, i wouldnt touch this book. Can imagine the types who would though (gods of terror ring any bells Kurtt - or was it gods of war back on Aszune Horde?).
-

mmmm reading through the thread for kicks...
Did we do strat talks in MC? Im sure we did, but I mainly remember finding shit to laugh at all night and playing cartoon sound clips over TS. I know Lyss would give talks but hey an MT's role in MC really was sit on the boss and dont let it run into the squishes.
How I never comedy wiped us is beyond me, especially when I could tank tabbed out :D
-
An about face - kinda from Blizz?
Today Blizzard released some stunning new standards for raids in the upcoming Cataclysm expansion. Chief amongst these changes, which every WoW player should be aware of, is the combining of 10- and 25-man loot tables, 10- and 25-man raid lockouts, and the continuation of gated content.
No longer will 25-man raids provide better gear than 10-man raids (although they will drop more of the gear), and no longer will players be able to farm both the 10-man and 25-man version of a raid dungeon each week.
The following are the bullet points of this announcement:
* 10- and 25- man raids in Cataclysm will share the same lockout
* Normal versus Heroic mode will be chosen on a per-boss basis in Cataclysm raids, the same way it works in Icecrown Citadel
* 10- and 25- man bosses will be close in difficulty
* 10- and 25- man bosses will drop the exact same items
* 25-man bosses will drop a higher quantity of loot, but not quality
* For the first few raid tiers, our plan is to provide multiple smaller raids. Instead of one raid with eleven bosses, you might have a five-boss raid as well as a six-boss raid.
* Content will continue to be gated
* First Cataclysm raids will be tuned for players in dungeons blues and crafted items
Effectively going back a few steps yet keeping certain aspects they added in since TBC etc? More raidable content in a given tier rather than 1 HUGE raid zone dropping everything, gating bosses (which I actually agreed with them doing when they did it in the past, made content last longer and gave more people a chance to get there and not just Ensidia), making 10's the equal in reward of 25's and so on.
Can say it screws pugs, but fuck pugs (What can I say, years of not pugging in wow spoilt me, I played with the best I could find and didnt need pugs.) and fuck that dungeon system they have over servers - been speaking today at lunch with a couple of wow junkie travellers who were actually looking for a gaming internet cafe. (lol at them I have eve installed on this rig!), who decided to tell me all the changes in the past few years, like I didnt know from you people here, its them who pointed this out to me, by whining on about it.

hmm wonder what happened to lyss i think his head exploded trying to give strat talks in ony and nobody was listening he seemed to dissapear shortly after.

btw jon do you still have a char on aszune called pedesvir as there's one in my friends list ?
-

Gave that one to Shallow, who gave it his Bro, who changed its name to Courage (and its sex).
Got a l1 on there with that name. Hey everything has its place and whats Aszune without that name sitting on it, although never logged on it. Tbh when the old Ped got given away and named changed iirc even friends lists change to show that.
Theres a Pedesvir on SWC that was me - played for a bit a long while back with some guys off Scrapheap, never got too far. But at least someone is there should I ever feel the need for an easy mmo.

Ah, <gods of terror>... When I started playing WoW again recently on Horde side, I learned, to my horror, that a member of <gods of terror> had been frequenting the THF TS server. Turns out he'd raided with us on and off, and that he was 'an ok bloke'. I disagreed, as he droned on like there was no tomorrow and the sound of his voice made me want to perforate my own ear drums.
Allegedly, <gods of terror> is now a pretty decent guild on Aszune. I have yet to see evidence of this though, as it still has the same guild leader.
-
So you do admit then given your closing comment above, that Guild Leader maketh the Guild ;)
-
The guild leader/management does have a lot to say. Lemmings of the light have been around for 5 years now and still going strong. And i dont think the guild would have been the same if it werent for the work Wilgje and officers put in.
Wilgje made this with some help for the 5-year anniversary if anyones bored and want something to read: http://www.lemmings-of-the-light.net/node/3138 :)
As for the changes to raids i like them. Some fights are actually harder with only 10 people as you got less room for people fucking things up and in those cases it doesnt make much sense to have 25-mans giving better gear...
And large 20 bosses raids are meh. So smaller raids are great methinks as you dont end up having to spend days to get trough unless you overgear the place.

Eriond/Nimithriel I believe... :-X
Actually, tell a lie, I think 'she' is in Corpse Run, the raid guild Val ran off too :P
-
Val left Sync?
How is Sync doing anyways, you all in a preCata doldrums thing or muddling along doing stuff and not letting the usual preExpansion nonsense get to people?
-

No idea, I'm playing Horde ;D
Val took his priest out of the guild to join Corpse Run, a 25 man raiding guild. Think he wanted to experience the end game content and a reasonably serious level.
-
That old chestnut.
Hows Horde treating you anyways, still with THF?
-
synch is plodding along from my point of view people did leave for various other guilds or stopped playing.
guild does manage to get 10 mans up and running most of the time so keeps some people happy and ofc heroics for badges is pretty strong.
backdraft once he got to 80 spent about 4 weeks getting geared up so he can take part in most things.
and as you know it is now holding pattern time waiting for cata so ppl are playing on and off like me.
val took his priest to corpse run guild to do 25 man stuff but has left his warrior in synch methinks he has the best of both worlds.
fian was playing on a rp server for a extended period but is back now a brought and good few ppl with him, nice ppl they are too so they fit it great.
-
That old chestnut.
Hows Horde treating you anyways, still with THF?
Yeah, it's all good. Getting gear via badges is super easy mode now, so have my Pally, Hunter and DK all geared up nicely.
THF is still going. We've seen quite a major reshuffle in the officer ranks and a new GM. The new GM is an RL friend of mine, and the officers are mostly new to, with only myself and Baldrian (Frozzone's RL mate) being officers from before TBC.
Still, recruitment seems to be going nicely, and we've re-focused on the social side of the guild, and have lost quite a few hardcore-like players along the way. Not really a bad thing.
Only problem now is, I'm getting bored again :D
-
Billi is in lemmings and i do raids with him now and then, Nim left with a few others and created a new guild a while ago with them(she seem to have left again), wich was a shock to people as they gave no mention about it up front. Actually Nim wasnt a shock to me from past experiences but some of the others were.
I think we had someone else applying that i remembered from hoj days but i cant remember the name and if they got in.

oh noes i reinstalled :S and found out my account has been suspended since it was compromised so im playing a trial at the mo eeeeeek
what am i doing?
-
It has been 3 weeks since i last even logged into any MMO and it feels good.
[snip]
As i get "better" i find that i actually detest ALL MMOs as to me they were a crutch i used to while away the hours and take my mind off things. So im giving them up, you may see me occasionally in LOTRo but not much, i may still try SWTOR but im thinking not.
All they mean to me is an immeasurable timesink, which, if im honest, results in hours of tedium doing the same shit over and over again. That is not fun and i think will eventually be the collapse of MMOs as a genre they are timesinks pretending to be content. They stop you seeing life and being as big a part in it as you could possibly be, now im not saying a few hours here and there is bad but who plays them that way, they arent designed around that concept.
Ill be lurking the boards inputing when its not needed ;)

How would you account have been compd though when you havent touched it for so long. Then again, it happens to so many others - blizz doesnt do security very well it seems.

Thats how I got back into WoW. Showed one of my old toons to a mate on the Armoury and realised I had recent activity even though I had not been subbed up for 6 months.
Garry, if your on a trial, roll Horde side. You know you want to, and I can get you in THF :D

im trying to get my "proper" account unlocked so i dont need to start skint and at level 1 again (WTF has happened to the economy its shocking?).
game seems to have nicked all the best addons and added them on :)
do achievements translate to anything other than epeen points?
wheres all my pet training? wtf are those points pets now get? and when do i get some?
i miss my 70 mage!! Bigcogg ftw

Some Achievments award titles and mounts. Pet's now get talent trees like players, accesible from your talent window. Think you get them as your pet levels up, every 4 or so levels I think.

yeah i did see all the cool looking mounts going around these days and thought "ooh i want that" :D

well i went out and bought WotLK today however it seems blizzrd are as slow as always :) no reply to my web forms and seems they take up to a week to do so yoinks.
I feel dirty.
-
if your going to be using your mage once you hit 80 grind the hell out of "trial of the champion" instance.
you can get about 7 items for a mage there which are good 80 starter purples then go on to the random heroics for badges to get better gear
a good way of getting a nice flying mount is by doing the culling of stratholme heroic instance which if you do the timed run you get a chance to roll on a bronze drake.
the occulus heroic also gives you a chance of getting a blue drake from the last boss.
doing a certain amount of achievments in i think northrend heroics can get you a red drake.
and doing 10 man obsidian sanctum can get you a black drake we have several people in synchronicity with them.

I wouldn't count on your toons being in THF I'm afraid. The last GM had a great purge and removed a lot of people. Kick me on here if you want a reinvite though.

yeah i checked armory and none of the names seemed like mine (not that i remember toons names)
currently on hold listening to same message over and over and over again sheesh!!
Seems teh people i needed to speak to finished at 6pm GMT and i got through at 6:10 after being on hold for 30 frikkin minutes.
Emailed them so tomorrow at the earliest for a resolution, at least i got the info from bloke that last payment was in some womans name and not mine so shouldnt be an issue really.
-
phoned them again more time on hold, my lord that hold music is awful.
They have escalated the issue (the highjackers paid a 3 month sub then tried claiming money back as i changed password on them after receiving email from blizz saying account may have been compromised) so once that issue is removed i will be able to log in again.
so awaiting the email telling me all is well ;)

just watch put for the scam emails some are pretty good and authentic looking:).

problem is a cashback was placed against the account, what happened was
account was hacked, hacker didnt change password or do anything else.
I recieved an email fdrom Blizz advising account may have been compromised, i log into account management change password.
Noticed a 3 month sub had been put on account, i laughed at silly hackers.
I reinstall game and patch (sigh) to check my banks hadnt been raided, all was fine, logged off, uninstalled, forgotten about.
This all happened 9 months after i stopped playing.
so 1year and a few months after this happened i try to log in with my newly purchased WotLK to find a charge back on the account, i.e. the hackers approached their CC firm to get the cash for the sub they didnt get on my account :) makes me think it was some gold seller who uses accounts for a few months then forwards gold on.
So until they sort it the account is suspended, even though they have agreed that someone subbing up to my account 9 months after i had stopped playing/ uninstalled/ and built a new computer with the fact the person subbing wasnt me (was some woman) it would be dealt with asap.
They couldnt answer how someone could get hold of my account details as i didnt use that name/password combo anywhere else.

and now they are spamming my inbox with customer satisfaction surveys before they have even sorted it grrrrr

pretty much.
Still no joy getting account back, will phone them again i guess.
Wish me luck with that annoying hold music, its like purgatory.

answer
"its under investigation, youll receive an email when its concluded" blah blah
any ETA? "afraid not. just wait for the email"
FUCKTARDS
-
probably they are going after the hackers if they used a credit card to pay the sub.
would have thought they would have used a cloned or stolen one but if they asked for a charge back the mind boggles they must really be the most idiotic hackers ever.
-
So got an email from them today saying
"this issue will be investigated, we shall email you the results"
how long can this shit take.
The dodgy payment isnt in my name, its not my chargeback Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!
-
Can you PM me your wow username or whatever they use to label your account? (case ID or something)
I know a guy who knows a guy... I'll see if that guy knows a guy at the right department. :P

Found zee hacker ;)
-
Shush! I'm just keeping him off wow for his own good! :D
-
So while moving my boomarks from e-backups to FF & chrome on my new system, i found the THF forum bm i had.
Jesus christ dramallamas.
What did you folks do over there, its like a free soap opera?!
-
Meh, its what happens when I'm not the GM any more.
-
well STILL no joy
however on battlenet when i go into account managment the little red dot has turned green so im hoping they are sorting it as we speak.
-
hip hip :D
-
Hello,
Thank you for your patience. Please note that all transactions are in the
responsibility of the account holder and that having other people add payments
to the account does not absolve the Terms of Payment. However, as an exceptional
gesture the chargeback on your account has been cancelled and your account
should now be unlocked and all payment options available to you once again.
Please note though that if your computer is not secured and the same issue
should occur again, we might be forced to take stricter action in the future.
They really are fuckers who cant admit that THEY have security issues.
-
they never admit anything ever even when ppl were sure the battle.net system was compremised when it first went live.
-
Guess they just want to avoid getting sued by hackers, which I am pretty sure they can in some cases, however wrong they are in other areas.
-
Im lost
seriously cant remember a thing its like playing a new game except im starting at 70.
and jeesus my bank really is full of shit i have no idea why i kept it :)
-
yeah i had that trouble everything in my bank that was pre 70 got thrown away.
so you going horde then ?
-
if your playing a mage again go arcane spec at 80 i stayed fire till then its the flavor of the xpack at the moment faster spells and a easy peasy spell rotation.
-
yeah i had that trouble everything in my bank that was pre 70 got thrown away.
so you going horde then ?
well my 2 70s are alliance, all my other toons seem to be on my level to 30 then delete rotation :)
ill see what i enjoy this time round.
-
i have tried horde about 4 different times just cant get on with it.
i guess im just pure of heart :D
-

Arcane builds are crazy :D
-
well after being back playing for a few days what can i say?
i like teh changes and yes i feel myself being drawn once again into WoW its scary :)
although when i ran LBRS with my new DK i got told to stop tanking when i wasnt trying to ;)

hehe welcome back to the darkside :D
i just started a dk yeah even in dps mode its easy to pull aggro.
-
:)
DK fun then? Ive rolled them in the past just to try their intro quests and such, which really impressed me.
One thing I kinda wish they would do is in Cata give DK's an option to start at 1, as after all they are revamping and changing so much of the old world that they'd benefit from a 1 start as much as regular characters.
-
love the equip 2h in main hand when duel wield tanking and there are some very nice 2h's in the game now.

Sacrelige.
Im an old school sword & boarder.
-
argh got it wrong been looking at so many different classes and different specs recently its fury warriors that can duel wield 2h's not tanks so all is well in tanky land. 8)

My Frost DK is currently dual weilding Axes, but he's DPS. Dual weild tanking is going the way of the dodo come Cata.
-
My Frost DK is currently dual weilding Axes, but he's DPS. Dual weild tanking is going the way of the dodo come Cata.
So is all 3 DK specs as "viable tanking specs" - even if there is a cookie cutter one - seems they are making Blood the tanking spec (Ive been reading up, passes the time on this fucking train.)

think its unholy at the moment or thats the flavor of the month in my guild for dk tanking duel-wield but your right they are making blood the more tanky spec come cata.
-
Mm. Think the idea was to alleviate the shortage of tanks by having an entire class that would be able to tank no matter what spec the player chooses.
Obviously 98% of the DKs refused to tank despite that, and for the remaining 2% their groups wished they just refused to tank.
So now they've just chosen to make a dedicated tank spec. At least now, when you get a DK tank you know he made a choice to tank (and collect gear for it) So hopefully the average DK-tank won't be as wtfbbqbloodybad.
-
in retrospect i prob shouldnt have called my DK bigdk keep getting comments :)
-
I bet lots of people will think of you as a proper noob DK before even seeing you play with that name. :)
Anything with dk in its name usually means this person will fail at what he is doing if its a pug. :D

I spent some time just before wraths release - I played for a week or so then - reserving names all over the place that were various combinations of dkdk dknightdk etc etc etc :)
Just to wind danish deathknights up.
-
ah so all those terribad dksomethingsdk ive seen was either you or caradir then?
-
called my dk decomp :)
-
My DK is Grimdied :D
-
im waiting on someone to complain about my name so i can change it ;)
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMxScFxHqDg
-
My dk is called Doornail. ::)
-
And here I have always thought "dk" in a name just means the player is from Denmark, just as many swedes use names that end in "se" :o At least all those who I have chatted with who have "dk" in their name have been from Denmark...
-
a guild mate got hacked today while me ,pn and anj were online the guy who got hacked is usually very talkative so after a few attempts to talk to him we got suspicious.
we checked the guild bank and indeed things had been removed so we demoted him and kicked his alts only fian can kick his main.
so we really laid into the fucker at the end when he was done he said i have finished cleaning now and your all bastards.
the bloody cheek :'(
-
i assume youve ticketed blizz to try and get stuff back, screenies of convos etc as proof?
not that they're any good mind.
-
yeah we have done that it was jaidus's ex husband that was hacked so once she comes on we can get her to ring him as hes not been playing in the last few weeks, cramming for exams i think.
-
Authenticators are a good investment.
It's also quite pointless to yell at hackers/goldsellers. I'd probably take it as a way out if I was the guy living in the second-world country.
It's better than trafficking drugs in any case. ;)

just ordered a authenticator today :)
me and a few guildies still think its blizzard doing some of the hacking to sell authenticators :o :D
-
But they also released a free authenticator for iPhone.
Maybe they're in league with Apple? ;)

the guy that got his account hacked got all his stuff back and account unlocked within 4 hours yesterday it seems the proccess is alot faster if alot of ppl make a big fuss about it to gm's ingame.

Wow - been reading similar stories on SHC (eve forum thingy), and people there have to wait ages for blizz to do anything. Although one guy found himself richer by 20000K gold and dint tell the gm;s (theyd left his bank and bags full of some expensive ore).
-
A guy I know had his gold doubled - apparently the goldseller had already sold his inventory but hadn't yet had time to send out the gold before he managed to lock the account.
The GMs just checked what had been sold and reimbursed the goods. ;)

So, yanks got world non ptr first on the new content in 2hrs after the instance was unlocked, and HC mode is already open and will probably fall by this evening US timezones.

Having done the bg both as alli and horde, I can say that is the Alliance version. Horde version goes something like:
get off a boat wonder what the feck is going on follow everybody up the path and wonder whats going on fight for a bit then get teleported somewhere else and wonder what on earth is happening then win.
-
You start as attacker or defender.
Defenders try to keep attackers from using vehicles to blow trough the gates and reach the inner core where the relic is. Once the gate to the relic is broken one attacker stepping inside is enough for attackers to win.
Gates can be damaged by people carrying seaforium bombs wich seems to be unlocked once attackers capture workshops.
Defenders win the round if time runs out.
After round one you switch side so attackers become defenders and those defending earlier are attacking.
Winner of the bg is the one being quickest at capturing the relic/being only one to capture(can also be a tie if both sides fail to capture it).
Short version:
Winner is the team with the best zerg and its usually a good idea to have people going for the same gate. :)

Someone always tells me to jump off early and swim ashore, so I do. Otherwise, my experience is identical.
I also get repeatedly killed by at least one member of every class.
-
Thanks guys.
Looks like a map with promise, then killed by a zerg. And I dont have to adapt to Alliance losing either :D

Another week another extended maintenance.
The Forum tears feed me, personally ill go find something else to do/ play.
LFD anyone ?

:ccblizz: ;)
Anyways, once I am done shifting this bloody orca and setting up new tower jobs, then I'll open up steam for a game of something :D

LFD anyone ?
the servers came online for 15 mins then we got a message saying server restart in 15 lol
and on the forums somebody started a thread on it ,blue poster said realms should not have come back up yet as maintenance was being finalised.
incompatent fucktards :D
-
servers back up now :)
-
usa isnt getting maintainance today, what about the eu tomorrow?
-
3 weeks to hit 74 from dinging 73 :)
And still got some of Howling Fjord, some of Dragonblight and then all the other zones to do. (Done all of Boring Tundra bar the instance quests in Nexus?).
So 6 levels to go and lots of content - IF I stick to not rushing it, and taking it at my pace, not blizzards.
-
grats :)
-

Unless you can fly, Borean Tundra is a lot better for Alliance than Howling Fjord.

Cant fly, I just didnt find the quests in Borean Tundra all that interesting and the zone feels too much of a mishmash. Howling Fjord on the otherhand doesnt, and the quests ive done so far have been quite good and ive actually felt like ive been a part of something there.
Still neither zone is as good for me as Dragonblight has been storywise and what not.
-
Howling Fjord drove me nuts trying to get into and out of the Alliance port, where those vrykul are constantly spawning around the gates.
Borean Tundra I felt was a victim of what they're trying to fix by removing the need to return to quest-givers on chains. The storylines are there, but unless you know them in advance I found myself doing them in a very fragmented manner.
If you go up to Coldarra and do all the quests there, you get your first glympse of an Aspect - in this case Malygos, under attack by red drakes.
-
Yeah loved seeing all those pre-nexus quests, that actually made me feel like i was involved and a part of something.
In other news, I have 1.9million rested, and still havent finished HF. Quests are green now and feel like they arent denting my levelling at all. Im not leaving the zone until its done (and I get the achie for 130 HF quests).
And its AV weekend!!
-

Be prepared to be 2-4 quests short and not be able to figure out why.

Dont Jinx me!
I have 20 quests to go till ive done it and so far I have 12 in my log for the zone, 2 of which lead on to others in their area :)

Does lowbie level Inscription research ever end?
Its like I'll never run out of stuff to "invent" and my priest still hasnt got to level 35 to train the next profession level.

Addon called Everyquest helps with that - tho' not infallible it downloads the quests your character has done and a list of available for that area.

I'll add that in before I play tomorrow. Go go cursedownloader.

Did it, still got quests to do too.
That mod Tyr linked suggests about 140 in HF before instance quests :D
-
So, apparently I become a gear obsessed 80.
Just did this quest in Dragonnlight - guard the Hourglass of Eternity against some infinite flight baddies. Had a level 80 future me to help.
And he kept snarking me over my gear. :'(

Certainly something I'll do though.

One of those moments when my sense of humour and WoW's align perfectly.
-
Cleaning out my old folders. I have no recollection of this specific run, but apparently we were rather passionate about it.
-
oh god Princess fatuglybitch.
I soooo hated maraudon.
-
So you don't remember me failing to keep you alive?
-
It does tend to be my own fault most of the time. ;D

Zul'drak flightpaths suck.
To fly from the spot up by Gundrak back to the alliance fp near the beginning of the region, I need to fly via both FPs in grizzly hills, or do sepreate journeys which sucks when i want to go afk for a cuppa.

do you have all the f/p's cnt remember how many there are off the top of my head but atleast 3 maybe 5 ?

Got 3 in ZD and the achievement for exploration, still doesnt fly me over the central one when going from one end to the other, it takes me via it then into GH, which is daft :)

theres light's breach , ebon breach , argent stand , zim,torga and the one near gundrak but i have no idea how they connect.
-
Ahah!
ebon breach , argent stand
Missing those.
Thankies. makes sense now.
-
The penalty for not having the Ebon Watch flight-point is very high.

77 on my DK and cold weather flying. fuck yeah!

Need to get to 78 ive decided - was going to stop here - all those wonderful reps have items I can use at 78!
-
Dailies, the crack of Azeroth. Just cant stop doing them lately.
-
The Ebon Hold ones in Icecrown are actually a lot of fun. The Sons of Hodir ones are good for while you're waiting for a random to pop.
I used to do the walrus-men ones as well, because I wanted the fishing rod. I did not, however, do the one where you help sea lions mate. Well, not more than once.
PN reckons he got a whole level out of the Kirin Tor cooking dailies.
-
if you need sons of hodir rep let me know i can send you 400 relics of uldaar.

Havent unlocked them or whatever yet - finishing up quests in Zul'Drak and been doing some in Icecrown too - as Ive still got Storm peaks to come, but I'll remember to ask when i do :)
-
I swear they've increased the amount of reputation you get for doing the lead-in quests. The last of my 80s to get Exalted with them who's likely to is the first one I got to 80. I remember the point where I unlocked new dailies on him at a new reputation level, and then later remember already being there on the next of my toons that hit 80.
I gave in on the last stretch and bought 60 relics off the AH. ::)

Two rams and a kodo on my belf DK. If he was one of the toons I was trying to get Brewmaster on, I'd have been quite pleased by that. As it was, I had to use the hops on my tauren druid.
Great source of frost badges, the event dailies. Also, if you have a fresh 80 or are dual-specced and your off-spec is weak, the trinkets can be of real benefit. I think I have about half a dozen of the stamina trinkets scattered across various toons.
